Note

If you remove and reinstall the same print cartridge, the HP All-in-One

will not prompt you to align the print cartridges. The HP All-in-One remembers
the alignment values for that print cartridge, so you do not need to realign the
print cartridges.

To align newly installed print cartridges
1.

Make sure you have letter or A4 unused plain white paper loaded in the input tray.
The HP All-in-One prints a print cartridge alignment sheet.

Note

If you have colored paper loaded in the input tray when you align

the print cartridges, the alignment will fail. Load unused plain white paper
into the input tray, and then try the alignment again.
If the alignment fails again, you might have a defective sensor or print
cartridge. Contact HP Support. Go to

www.hp.com/support

. If prompted,

choose your country/region, and then click

Contact HP

for information on

calling for technical support.

2.

Load the print cartridge alignment sheet on the left front corner of the glass with
the top of the page to the left.

3.

Press the

Scan

button.

The HP All-in-One aligns the print cartridges. Recycle or discard the print
cartridge alignment sheet.

Clean the print cartridges

Use this feature when the self-test report shows streaking, white lines through any of
the lines of color or when a color is muddy after installing a print cartridge for the first
time. Do not clean print cartridges unnecessarily, as this wastes ink and shortens the
life of the ink nozzles.

To clean the print cartridges from the HP Photosmart Software
1.

Load letter, A4, or legal unused plain white paper into the input tray.
